Glenn Seton
Glenn Seton (
May 5,
1965–) is an
Australian
racing driver.
He currently competes in the
V8 Supercar championship, and is only one of three drivers to have competed in over 200 rounds in the series. The other drivers are
Dick Johnson(202) and
Peter Brock(212) In the past he has run his own team for a number of years. He has usually raced
Fords in the
Australian Touring Car Championship since
1984.
Although he has never won the
Bathurst 1000 like his father
Bo Seton did in
1965, Glenn has started from
pole position in
1994 and
1996, and finished second twice. He came close to winning the race in 1995 but his engine failed 8 laps from the finish. He won the
V8 Supercar championships in
1993 and
1997 while driving for his own team.
He raced for his father's team,
Barry Seton Racing, in
1983 driving a Ford Capri, then
Nissan Motorsports from
1984 to
1988, driving first in a Nissan Pulsar Exa and then a Nissan Skyline, his own
Glenn Seton Racing from
1989 to
1998,he then drove between
1999 and
2001 for
Ford Tickford Racing, another year in
2002 for
Glenn Seton Racing, before it was taken over by
Ford Performance Racing, which he spent two years driving for, before moving in
2005 to
Dick Johnson Racing.
In late
2005, Seton was sacked from Dick Johnson Racing halfway through his two year contract. This move was unpopular with Seton's large fanbase.
Seton was not able to find a 2006 full-time drive, so he joined Stone Brothers Racing for the two
V8 Supercar Endurance races, including the
Bathurst 1000. He will drive with
James Courtney at these events. He will also drive the SBR ride car with the other SBR drivers.
